What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text since the early 1500s. At that time, an anonymous printer scrambled a large collection of type sizes and shapes, using Lorem Ipsum as his or her typeface. Lorem Ipsum has not only survived five centuries unchanged, but has also leapt into digital typography. Its popularity was popularized in modern times by the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum samples in the 1960s, and more recently by desktop publishing programs like Aldus PageMaker, which use Lorem Ipsum in their templates.
Why is it used?
It has long been recognized that when evaluating the design and composition of text, readable text can interfere with concentration. Lorem Ipsum is used because it provides a more-or-less standard layout, with realistic distribution of letters and spacing within paragraphs, unobtainable by simply writing "Your text here... Your text here... Your text here..." Many desktop publishing programs and HTML editors use Lorem Ipsum as their default text, so a search for "lorem ipsum" reveals many web pages still awaiting their proper birth. Over the years, Lorem Ipsum has had many versions. Some versions have been introduced by mistake, others are intentional (such as humorous variations).
Where did it come from?
Many people think of Lorem Ipsum as a crudely plucked pseudo-Latin word count, but this is not entirely true. Its roots go back to a single piece of Classical Latin from 45 AD, more than two millennia ago. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, took one of the more unusual words in Lorem Ipsum, "consectetur," and searched for it in classical Latin literature. He found the undisputed source of Lorem Ipsum in sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (On the Limits of Good and Evil), written by Cicero in 45 AD. This treatise on ethical theory was very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...," comes from one of the lines in section 1.10.32.
The classic Lorem Ipsum text, used since the 16th century, is reproduced below. Also included are sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero and their English translation by H. Rackham, 1914.
Where can I get it?
There are many variations of Lorem Ipsum, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you need Lorem Ipsum for a serious project, you probably don't want anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of a paragraph. All other well-known Lorem Ipsum generators typically repeat the same text as needed, making this the only true Lorem Ipsum generator. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, thus generating Lorem Ipsum that looks reasonable, is free from repetition, nonsense, or nonsensical words.
